Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

According to MetService meteorologist Sarah Haddon, weather boffins will have a much clearer picture of what the weather has in store for Waikato this weekend as two major weather systems play havoc with their predictions.
Will the weather affect your Christmas Day plans? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Despite this, The Salvation Army continues to provide vital services, including food, counselling, and lifestyle programmes. Donations, no matter the size, bring long-term change to families, ensuring joy this Christmas and beyond.

Firstly a HUGE thanks to Don and all of Team Blue along with the volunteers helping to take care of our areas .
Piper needs a mention too, along with being very cute , he probably helps to keep Don sane :-)
Don comments on the high success rate for holding shoplifters accountable due to the way businesses are reporting thefts. CCTV in store is working.
He also mentioned the free APP called HOIST for asset management & tool tracker if your items are loaded into the APP.
There's tips to remember before you go away and what can help to keep your property safe while you are away. Empty boxes lying around with the make and model of your new 96" TV is a dead giveaway and best not to leave your spare keys to your motor vehicles inside in plain view. Lock your garages and sheds etc Please check your home contents insurance cover too.

All the best wishes for a wonderful festive season and roll on 2025.
Best wishes
